LED Light Therapy

About this treatment

LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of low-level light and is used at Eloria London as a supportive step within a wider plan rather than as a standalone fix. Depending on the wavelength selected, it is designed to support skin comfort and skin quality, and may help improve the appearance of congestion-prone or reactive-looking skin. It is non-invasive and involves no abrasion of the skin surface.

Common questions

Why start with a consultation

Choosing a treatment from a list rarely produces the best outcome. A consultation makes sure that what you book is appropriate for your skin, that anything unsuitable is ruled out, and that your expectations match what a treatment can realistically support.

1. Step 1

   Understanding your skin

   Your concerns, history, current routine and goals are discussed before anything is assessed physically.

2. Step 2

   Assessment and suitability

   Your skin is assessed in person, and contraindications and any need for a patch test are identified.

3. Step 3

   Your personalised plan

   A plan is agreed in writing, which may include one treatment or a carefully selected combination.

4. Step 4

   Preparation and aftercare
